Ogden of the Oakland superior court, answers the arguments made by the meu, that the women can not know the qualifications of the cau didaies.Jor office and therefore should not be allowed to vote by declaring that under the readjustment of things all voters should know the seeker for office. She further warns the me>n against '"the pretty face or charm of manner" of the woman aspirant for membership on the executive committee, and tells them to regard only the real ability and true womanliness of the candidate. In the Occident article Miss Pence declared that not only should the pres ident of the women students be a mem ber of the governing body, which is now confined to the men students, but the presidents of the Sports and Pas times club, the women's athletic man ager, should also be a member of the central body.

Among Voters OAKLAND, Feb. 22.— Petitions for the holding of elections to annex Pied mont- and Berkeley to Oakland were put in circulation today in: Oakland. This marks the formal-beginning, of the .movement .to" create a v clty and county'of Oakland, with a territory in cluding all the thickly settled part of the east shore of the bay, and a popu .lation that is estimated .to be 400,000. Three other communities will be asked to .join In, the- movement— Ala-, meda, Emeryville and Albany, the lat ter, being the lately incorporated town east. and south' of Berkeley. 'It is the intention of the backers of the move ment for consolidation, however, to act without these communities 'if they are unwilling to take part. The law requires that 20 per cent of the qqalifled. 'electors .at the last general election shall sign the petitions for annexation.and consolidation elec tions. In Oakland the petitions' were placed in the care of committees of the -chamber of commerce and the • Mer chants' exchange, and at the rate they were signed today the backers of the project declare that the 4,000 . names will be secured In a few daye. In Berkeley 1.200 names are needed. Pre, liminary petitions show an aggregate of-'K447 names, so that success is pre dicted''there. In Piedmont only 48 names are needed, while more than 100 have already been secured./ City Attorney Stetson has been in frequent consultation , recently with representatives of Los Angeles, who are desirous of doing the same thing in their county that Oakland is trying to do now. The law says that the bound ary of the newly made county must be at least, five miles away from the new county seat. This has caused some dif ficulty in Oakland as well as in Los Angeles. The latest plan in Alameda county is to have the seat of the out side part of the ; present county, when it is segregated, in Niles. Consolidation Club. Formed BERKELEY.
